Yellow if you're feeling brave and want to stand out a little.

I think either would work very well with your car though.

as of now, red seems to be the top choice... over 50% of the votes have gone to red...

Here is the order I'd consider if I were you:

Orange
Red
Lime Green
Yellow
Black

Car looks great btw as it sits.

not many seem to dig orange... now that would be unique... havent seen orange calipers in person... hmmm

So I am getting my caliper powder coated candy red( two tone ) and I will have pictures within 2 - 3 weeks on the car. I also went with RED because I have red interior and in engine bay. Good luck with your color but you can't go wrong with red IMO. ^^

most def... thats why i didnt have this done earlier... wanted to do this after i got my wheels... think it is now safe to do this mod...

any update on this?

I have the exact same set up as you with the roof, valence and lights with black wheels.

I noticed the vote is heavily pointing to red, so what did it look like

talk about reviving a dead thread.. that was over a year ago.. if it was my car.. I'd hit up a nice royal blue or a lime green with that set up. lots of people have red brakes.. almost seems cliche', but it's an old standby for sure

Sorry to dig up an old thread but it's my exact topic, my color scheme PG and I'm scheduled to have my wheels redone in bronze. I was thinking of doing the calipers in a metallic Red at the same time. I'm open to other opinions and are welcome. Attach pics if you can't, I sure don't know how to smh...
Thanks in advance

Black doesn't stand out behind the bronze, Orange is too close in color. Both are good options. Thoughts on Royal Blue or sky blue I'm trying to contrast the PG or the Bronze rims not both.
